WHAT’S GREEN IN BIRMINGHAM?

Climate change (or climate chaos as some people call it) is a reality which will increasingly dominate the 21st century. As citizens of Britain’s second city, we can help create a city to be proud of, leading the way in reducing global warming to help save the planet for future generations.

If you’re looking for green products and services, green spaces, green initiatives and groups in Birmingham UK, start here. With your help, we can help everyone cut the carbon by pooling our knowledge on all the different initiatives in the city to cut CO2 and other greenhouse gases – and other forms of pollution.

GREENING BRUM:

If you are doing anything to help create a sustainable economy in the city, to preserve biodiversity, or to increase awareness of ecological issues, we want to know about it.

Zero Carbon House Update (3). Plus workshop 12 Feb 2009.

Jan 5th, 2009 by Chris Duggan | 1 comment

Work continues at the site, with a curious curved wall extending the house southwards, using compressed earth blocks. These unfired clay blocks use waste clay which is too earthy to make into bricks, and they have very low embodied energy.

www.zerocarbonhub.org, “established to make Zero Carbon homes a reality from 2016″, promises “a series of workshops across England in February 2009 to explain the definition and outline the likely changes it will have on the house-building industry”, including one in Birmingham on February 12th.

We would love to hear of any other energy-saving building projects in Birmingham – add a comment or contact us.
